Access to UAA campus buildings currently restricted

3/28 UPDATE: University affiliates must also comply with the March 27 state public health mandates regarding intrastate travel and shelter-in-place. The university is updating its policies to reflect those mandates. Changes will occur to our building access policies.

 

As part of UAA’s response to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, access to UAA campus buildings is currently restricted. In order to preserve the health and safety of our campus community, all buildings are locked. Students and employees who need to be present on campus may access buildings using keys or WolfCards. Please DO NOT prop doors open under any circumstances.

Signage is posted with names and contact information for individuals who are present at each building to accommodate access as needs arise. Only students, faculty and staff are permitted in UAA facilities at this time. Additionally, some buildings are not available to students and access may be denied.

In all cases, follow the guidelines and signage posted on building doors as well as the below information:
